Start by reviewing Martinez v. Winner, 771 F.2d 424 (1985). In the matter of Case No. MJ-14-00030 (JPD), please accept this AFFIDAVIT summarizing the credential investigation which the Undersigned has been conducting at least since the year 1996 A.D. with assistance U.S. DOJ.

In particular personnel of this Court have now touched the instant case, but without having produced a true and correct copy of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management Standard Form 61 APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVITS, expressly required by the Federal statutes at 5 U.S.C 2903 (authority to administer), 2906 (custody) and 3331.

To satisfy the requirements of all reasonable due diligence, Defendant submitted nearly identical FOIA Requests to OPM and OMB, for proof that OPM had complied with all regulatory requirements, imposed by the

to discover SF-61s for employees such as U.S. Magistrate Judges, Clerks and Deputy Clerks of Court.

Court employees who have failed or refused to disclose valid SF-61s include, but are not limited to:

(a) James P. Donohue dba Magistrate

(b) Brian Tsuchida dba Magistrate

(c) William M. McCool dba Clerk of Court

In the Executive Branch, and to the best of his memory, Defendant has also used the FOIA to request valid SF-61s for Jenny A. Durkan, OUSA in Seattle; Christopher A. Crofts, OUSA in Cheyenne, Wyoming; and L. Robert Murray, OUSA, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

In the IRS, Defendant used the FOIA to request valid SF-61s for James Marcy and Dave Guest. See Chrysler Corp. v. Brown [fn23]!

No SF-61s were produced for Messrs. Donohue, Tsuchida, and McCool!

The SF-61s produced for Durkan, Crofts, Murray, Marcy and Guest all displayed no OMB control number; and, in some cases those “bootleg” requests failed to display any citation to 5 U.S.C. 2903 (authority to administer).

Whenever resorting to a NOTICE AND DEMAND, instead of a FOIA Request, Defendant relies upon the definition of “demand” in Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, whereby “demand” necessarily implies a

right of some kind. In this context, the SF-61 required by 5 U.S.C. 3331, 3332, 3333 is a legislative implementation of the Oath of Office Clause at Art. VI, Sec. 3, in the Constitution for the United States of America, as lawfully amended.

As such, the Oath of Office on each SF-61 is Defendant’s Fundamental Right. In this context, see Miranda v. Arizona (“rights secured by the Constitution”) read Fundamental Right.

In light of all the above, Defendant is now claiming justification for concluding the following, under 19 Op. Atty. Gen. 219 (1889)!

(a) James P. Donohue cannot sign any orders, nor preside on any hearings;

(h) James Marcy cannot be an employee of the U.S. Department of the Treasury;

(i) Dave Guest cannot be an employee of the U.S. Department of the Treasury;

— 4 of 9 —

Messrs. McCool & Harris are both claiming to be de jure Clerks of Court who have both touched the instant case. Unfortunately, the absence of valid SF-61s renders both of them unqualified to perform any duties assigned to the Office of Clerk:

(a) they cannot maintain custody of any Court records, particularly their own SF-61s, of which they are the legal custodians — or should be the legal custodians —

(c) they cannot sign any Court process that satisfies the statute at 28 U.S.C. 1691, because their signatures are not authorized signatures, absent a valid SF-61 that is and remains in the legal custody of the Office of Clerk of Court, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 2906.

NB: Insofar as personnel claiming to be lawful Clerks and Deputy Clerks do not have legal custody of their own valid SF-61s, then the entire Court is rendered totally impotent because it cannot issue any process that satisfies the plain and simple requirements imposed on all “process” by the statute at 28 U.S.C. 1691. This deficiency also exists for “indictments” and “arrest warrants”, for the same reason.

— 5 of 9 —

Court “orders” and “search warrants” must also comply with Section 1691 supra. See case law under 28 U.S.C.S. 1691 and 28 U.S.C.A. 1691, all of which case law is almost unanimous in their holding that violations of Section 1691 result in depriving the Court of jurisdiction in personam. Hence, Defendant’s “objection!”

The absence of valid SF-61s for Messrs. McCool and Harris therefore calls for the conclusions that the so-called “search warrant” executed on 6/11/2013 was void; the so-called “arrest warrant” executed on 1/28/2014 was also void; and, the so-called “indictment” stamped 1/15/2014 is likewise void ab initio, for all of the reasons stated supra. No lawful Clerk!

Similarly, all Court hearings to date, on which either Mr. Donahue or Mr. Tsuchida attempted to preside, were null and void, ab initio; and, all rulings and “orders” issued during or after said hearings, were likewise null and void ab initio. See Carmine v. Bowen, U.S. v. Tweel, here.

The panel of federal citizens who attempted to issue the “indictment” in the instant case was not a lawfully convened Federal grand jury nor a lawfully screened grand jury.

This also means that the DOJ personnel who entered the grand jury room, did not attend, or conduct, an “official grand jury proceeding” in the instant case.

Probable Jury Tampering and Impersonating an Officer of the United States

For all of the reasons already explained above, Messrs. Crofts and Murray entered the grand jury room withoutvalid credentials, and thereby perpetrated a fraud upon the panel assembled in that room; moreover, such a fraud also constitutes probable cause that both committed, and conspired to commit, jury tampering and impersonating an officer of the United States. See 18 U.S.C. 912.

Lastly, and more to the merits of any “subpoenas” issued by the panel assembled in the grand jury room in Cheyenne, Wyo., it should now be abundantly clear that it was legally impossible for that panel to issue any valid “subpoenas” insofar as, and as long as, no valid OPM Standard Form 61 APPOINTMENT AFFIDAVITS were ever produced for any of the “players” named above; and insofar as, and as long as, the Office of Clerk of Courts in Cheyenne failed to maintain legal custody of valid SF-61s for all Court personnel, no exceptions. See 15 U.S.C. 2906, 3331, 3332, 3333; 44 U.S.C. 3507.

REMEDIES

Defendant therefore sincerely believes that the facts itemized above do fully justify ORDERS to the Office of the U.S. Attorney to show cause why this honorable Court should not take mandatory judicial notice, pursuant to FREV 2001(c)(2),

— 7 of 9 —

of all records currently in the custody of both Clerks of Court in Seattle, Washington, and in Cheyenne, Wyoming; to show cause why all “orders” issued in the instant case, should not be vacated; to show cause why all hearings conducted to date in the instant case should not be declared null and void; to show cause why the “search warrant” and “arrest warrant” were not both null and void ab initio; to show cause why the fate of Defendant’s private personal and his intellectual properties, safe and sound as they were between 6/18/2009 and 6/11/2013, should not be fully disclosed to Defendant immediately; to show cause why the so-called “subpoenas”, issued by a panel of federal citizens gathered at the Federal Courthouse in Cheyenne, Wyoming, should not be declared null and void, and quashed for that reason; and to show cause why a CIVIL RICO cross-complaint should not commence by naming all of the individuals mentioned above as individual Co-Defendants under 18 U.S.C. 1964(c), and possibly under 18 U.S.C. 241 and 242, and 42 U.S.C. 1985 and 1986; and, finally to show cause why the alleged “indictment” should not be declared null and void ab initio, and why the instant case should not be dismissed with prejudice. So bet it!

Ferrie’s ex-roommate reveals: JFK’s assassins died in that afternoon off the Christi, Texas

New York Free Press, Thursday, 15 August 1968

Ferrie’s ex-roommate reveals: JFK’s assassins died in that afternoon off the Christi, Texas

by Stephen Jaffe

[Special to the New York Free Press]

The first public disclosure of a confession by any of the participants in the conspiracy which led to the Dallas assassination of President Kennedy was revealed in surprising fashion recently on the Stan Bohrman, Tempo, television show in Los Angeles. An ex-roommate of the late David Ferrie appeared on the program as a last minute guest. The roommate, Reverend Raymond Broshears of Long Beach, was asked to replace a guest who had been scheduled to discuss psychic phenomena and predictions of the future.

After introductory comments were made, the program, which is in the format of receiving questions from outside telephone callers, became one of significant historical importance. In response to one of the callers’ questions the Reverend told of his association with the late David Ferrie of New Orleans.

Ferrie was named by District Attorney Jim Garrison of New Orleans as one of the participants in the conspiracy which ended in the murder of President Kennedy. Garrison said of Ferrie, “He was one of history’s most important individuals.”

The caller questioned Reverend Broshears and much to the shock of host Stan Bohrman, Broshears answered the questions frankly. When asked if Ferrie told him of the assassination conspiracy, his former roommate replied, “David admitted being involved with the assassins. There’s no question about that.”

Reverend Broshears, who has tried to escape harassment by “individuals from mysterious sources” ever since his short association with Ferrie in 1965, told of the role which Ferrie had played in the plot. “He was in Houston at the time Mr. Garrison has him in Houston, with an airplane waiting,” reported Broshears. The Reverend said that Ferrie had intended to fly the assassins on the second leg of a getaway trip which was to carry at least two of the gunmen, first to South America and then to South Africa. The location in Africa was chosen as a final destination because that country has no extradition agreement with the United States.

According to the Reverend, Ferrie was waiting in the Houston airport that Friday afternoon, when the two assassins, having just murdered President Kennedy, fled in a light aircraft from a landing strip just outside of Dallas. Instead of going straight to Houston as was arranged, the assassins tried to make their escape all the way to Mexico without stopping. The assassins died in a plane crash that afternoon off the coast of Corpus Christi, Texas.

Broshears said that Ferrie had been a nervous wreck in the days of their acquaintanceship. This was over a year before the public disclosure of the investigation of Jim Garrison and, according to a recent article in Ramparts Magazine by William W. Turner, Garrison hadn’t begun his probe, even secretly, until the later half of 1966. Broshears told of Ferrie’s fears that someone was going to kill him. “No matter what happens I will never commit suicide,” Ferrie had told the Reverend. “He was emphatic about this,” Broshears reiterated.

Broshears said that he knew David Ferrie had been murdered and thus confirmed another portion of Garrison’s analysis of the evidence since his probe began.

More questions in the assassination matter are added by the case of David Ferrie. Aside from his mysterious death, the strange activities of Ferrie on November 22, 1963 had led Garrison to arrest him for questioning when Ferrie returned from his trip to Houston. After the District Attorney’s office questioned Ferrie they referred him to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for further questioning and examination by the Warren Commission. As in most instances the Warren Commission never questioned Ferrie, who, it is evident, might have shed considerable light on the true events of the assassination.

Compounding the federal negligence is the fact that the F.B.I. did question Ferrie and the forty-page transcription of that interview has been committed to the National Archives for the duration of 75 years from the issuance of the Warren Report. Reverend Broshears was asked by the caller if he was ever arrested for threatening the life of President Lyndon Johnson. Most reluctantly he replied that he had been. But he qualified the implication saying that it was for the love of his country that such an incident transpired. He did not actually threaten President Johnson, and he explained that he does not believe in killing. “What then,” Bohrman puzzled, “did you say?”

At the risk of being re-arrested for repeating a statement that had caused Secret Service agents to take the Reverend into custody two years ago, Broshears stated, “I said that Mr. Johnson, the person who was responsible, directly or indirectly, for the assassination of President Kennedy, should be put to death.” With the energy of ten men, and the breath of a parakeet, Bohrman activated his lips to form the words, “We’ll be right back after this word from Arid Extra Dry.”

But the shock which characterizes most of the assassination revelations did not stop there. Broshears’ admissions, however courageous or honest, have meant nothing but total torture and harassment for him ever since the television program. Since the time of his arrest by Federal agents in New Orleans for the incident of his alleged threat on President Johnson (after which he was questioned and released without conviction or sentence) he has had to be in constant touch with Federal offices of the Secret Service and F.B.I. by order of the Federal government. Agents from those organizations have warned him “to keep his mouth shut” or risk being committed to a mental institution.

HOMOSEXUAL SMEARS

After the television program Broshears was served by his landlady, Mrs. Norma L. Smith, with a seven-day-limit eviction notice. Phone calls from anonymous sources told him, “How many Presidents did you kill today, Reverend?” And two reporters from the Sunday supplement of the Long Beach Telegram Newspaper, have planned an article for this Sunday’s edition which will reveal that Reverend Broshears is a homosexual. A friend of the Reverend’s on the Long Beach Police Force confided that the article would not be favorable to him at all. Broshears realizes that the price of breaking his silence on the case could certainly bring damaging comments about him and possibly endanger his life. Ironically Broshears never tried to hide the fact that he is a homosexual. He answered, “I am a homosexual but I have never denied it.”

Homosexuality is often used as a source of smear material but that is usually in the case of a person who would be damaged by that public revelation. Broshears’ only fault or sin seems to be his persistent honesty.

Apparently, freedom of speech is something which Broshears has always taken as a cause to defend. When an attack was waged by a Reverend John C. Bonner, of the Long Beach–Lakewood Area, to try and halt the sale of the Los Angeles Free Press, in March of 1968, Broshears replied to the aggressor. In a modest but outspoken newspaper published by Reverend Broshears, called “The Light of Understanding,” Broshears replied to Reverend Banner’s limited acceptance of journalistic freedom. “In The Bible it states that if you raise your children rightly, you need not fear,” he wrote. Where Reverend Banner had requested that the representatives of some 47 area churches “stand up and be counted,” Broshears answered, “Stand up and be counted as what? A person who opposes freedom of the press?” As a result of this small but noble defense Reverend Broshears was expelled from the ministerial alliance of his district.

“OVERSIGHT”

Another Los Angeles broadcaster, Eliot Mintz of KPFK, invited Reverend Broshears on his show. Responding to the tremendous audience interest in the events surrounding the murder of President Kennedy, Mintz questioned Broshears on his association with Ferrie. After callers quizzed the Reverend there was not enough time allowed to the Reverend to discuss his Night Ministry school which is his occupation in Long Beach. Although the program closed without the discussion of some of the Reverend’s work in the Community Relations field (finding help for “skid row” bums, improving conditions in the ghettos) the oversight of time promised the Reverend shall be corrected by the show's host. Mintz told me, “If Mr. Broshears would like to come on our show to discuss his work, and his Night Ministry school and not to discuss his association with David Ferrie, he has a standing invitation from me to do that.”

It is impossible to estimate the truth or falsehood of the Reverend’s statements about the assassination. It is certain that in his association with Ferrie he had the unique opportunity to learn what Ferrie might have told the New Orleans Grand Jury had he lived. In the case of the assassination of President Kennedy it seems apparent that those with important knowledge, who speak out, risk death. In the current issue of his newspaper Reverend Broshears explains this puzzle in a different way. He says, “the price of silence is ‘death.’”

12/9/14 - I am having a hard time understanding why I am not seeing anything reported about this or why people are not sharing the information to others about what is happening to Paul. Are people really that apathetic? Merry Christmas, Happy New Year?

[Breaking] #ScribdDocs USDOJ [and now the Office of the Secretary of Defense] are aware of Intimidation & Threats by Christina Pietz & Dr Sarrazin Against PAM Teknosis Sitemeter-com http://bit.ly/1yqa08GPlease, as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States

There, "Dr." Christina A. Pietz, "Ph.D." and USMCFP "Psychologist" attempted to interrogate Relator in the presence of two (2) psychology interns and three (3) prison guards seated in the same room. Pietz asked Relator if he knew the reason why he had been moved to USMCFP/Springfield. Relator answered, "Yes, the credential investigation." Pietz retorted, "No. You are here because you have been diagnosed with a mental illness, and your lawyer agrees that you are delusional." - 5 of 10 - Relator replied, "Mr. Harris has not ever said that to me." Pietz then replied, "Do you realize you are speaking fast?" Relator replied with a question, "Am I speaking too fast for you?" After about one week in the SHU, Relator was moved to USMCFP Ward 10-C, where he was allowed to join the general population, exercise in the recreation yard, and utilize the prison recreation room and Law Library. On 10/1/2014,. at 11:55 AM (5 minutes before noon), Relator was returning from the Law Library to Ward 10-G, when Pietz handed him a "BP-A0959 Notice of Hearing" [sic]. That hearing had evidently been scheduled for 8:00 AM -- four (4) hours earlier that same day! Relator was not allowed to attend any such hearing(s) because he first received the unsigned "BP-A0959 Notice" of that 8:00 AM hearing almost four (4) hours later -- at 11:55 AM! As such, he received no prior notice, and there was no such hearing, contrary to rights expressly itemized in that Notice (cf. "Your rights include:" on Page 2 of 3). Relator then annotated that BP-A0959 Notice "refused for cause and returned to sender", and mailed the annotated copy, together with his "BP-S148.055 INMATE REQUEST TO STAFF", to Dr. Robert Sarrazin, Chief of Psychiatry, via internal in-house mail. (See attached.) Relator also attaches his "Confidential Notice" to Dr. Sarrazin, M.D., dated 10/2/2014, as if set forth fully here. Pietz's "BP-A0959 Notice of Hearing" also recommended "involuntary medication" of Relator, but he has consistently opposed any medication for religious and other verifiable reasons...

VERIFICATION: 28 U.S.C. 1746

I, Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S., hereby verify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America, without (outside) the United States (federal government) that the above statement of facts and laws is true and correct according to the best of my current information, knowledge and belief, so help me God.

P.P.S. My use of quotes in regards to "they" was that I don't really have a good referent as to who "they" are. Someone said they are "scare" quotes. I didn't know I could use referents to anything in regards to the written word without people trying to bastardize what I'm trying to communicate?

This is all I know, I have been able to confirm this. I do know Paul has not been on the group since 1-28-14. Someone who knows Joe Hill sent me this below, I don't know this guy. I think we should get the word out.

I now know that Paul was held in solitary for 9 days. He says he is to be transported to Cheynne. He was arrested on the 28th and only released from solitary on the 5th.Do you know of a Dr. Mike Holland, M.D. in Green River, Wyo.? Paul has asked to have him notified.

6. What is the standing of present fiat bankers and their Federal Reserve Shell Corp’s, acting “as if” legal guarantors of the present currency? Does the formation of State banks effectively end the Federal Reserve System, and return legitimate power to the BOE? What is the role of the U.S. Treasury, which is, my understanding, is also a PRIVATE CORPORATION?

They are in contempt of the AUTOMATIC STAY invoked formally at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington (State), and they are also implicated in a conspiracy to engage in a pattern of racketeering activities, due in large part to all of the fraud which their collection agency — the IRS — has been committing via fraudulent enforcement of a “liability” for IRC subtitle A which does NOT exist, as a matter of FACT:

Even if it were a de jure service, bureau, office or other subdivision of the U.S. Department of the Treasury — the one domiciled in Washington, D.C. — the IRS would STILL have no authority to create a tax liability solely by means of Regulations published in the Federal Register: see Commissioner v. Acker:

Note: there are a lot more posts of Paul's on my blog that I have posted over the years. I have assembled some of them for you as you can see but I'm sure there are many more in the archives if you go back, and Paul always has links to his supremelawfirm. Dunno about you but I would start crawling some data and getting all information possible from his website before it is completely censored/taken down.

Anarchy

Sir David relays:

Greetings:

Here is a must see video.This young lady Josie has more brains and guts then you flag waving, flag pledging, government loving brain dead dumb sheople.In four minutes she puts you to shame, and tells how stupid you truly are.For you who are free men, you will just love this gal.

I thank Ralph for send my this video link. I sure hope that he was paying close attention to what Josie had to say, because she sure did not agree with some of the nonsense that has been circulating as of resent.

Two years ago, a gospel singer and I were discussing Bible and government one afternoon after she had finished singing at a Gospel Concert, and out of the blue she asked me, "are you an anarchist?"

I stopped and give that a thought for a second, and replied to her, "from what we have been discussing and that I perceive that you understand the meaning of the question that you have ask, therefore, my answer is yes."

To my surprise she responded, "I am too!" She was the first woman that I had met in over ten years that understood the meaning of the term. I was shocked, since I thought that I was the only one at that Concert with such a mindset, most of the people that I had talked with were brain dead. What was even more shocking is that this lady is quite well known throughout the Gospel circuit of the eastern states. Thousands of people own at least one copy of her CDs. I have two, which are autographed because I took time to make a friend. :-)

Susan Mokdad & Pro Se Litigants Movement

Eleven years ago Susan Mokdad was murdered at Coleman Prison on Valentine's Day

It has been 11 years since Susan Mokdad was MURDERED by her captors at Federal Coleman Prison. Susan was locked in a cell, denied medical attention and was allowed to bleed to death internally. Her captors knew that she was ill and had been hoping that she would die since January 31, 2003. After suffering at the hands of her captors for two weeks, Susan died Valentine's Day 2003.

Susan was a co-founder of Pro Se Litigants of Tampa Bay back in 1989, an organization which had about 30 members. In the spring of 1991, a group of pro se litigants from Highlands county heard about this organization and six litigants from Highlands decided to attend, and the following week 10 litigants from Highlands attended the meeting in Tampa. An alliance was formed. Those in Highlands had contact with litigants in Orlando and Melbourne. The following week representatives from all four groups attended the meeting in Tampa, with over 40 in attendance and Pro Se Litigants of Florida was born. Within just a few months membership climbed to over 300.

Inquiries came in from all over the country and within less than a year Pro Se Litigants of America was Incorporated. By 1994 membership Nationwide had exceeded 10,000. From this membership emerged the Common Law Courts. These groups had begun to have a major impact upon the corrupt court systems, causing several de facto corporate courts to have back logs and almost grind to a halt. In spring of 1995, a group of Black Robed Devils (judges) from around the country secretly met in Chattanooga to conspire a plan on how to destroy the Pro Se Litigants and the Common Law Courts.

Resulting from this scheme litigants across the country were being arrested and thrown into jail for anything that could be trumped up. Finally, the FEDS cooked up fraudulent charges and the homes of Emilio and Wilma Ippolito (Susan's mom and dad) and Susan's home were raided. The FEDS arrested Susan, her dad and 10 other litigants from the Tampa Bay area and Orlando, naming 256 so-called unindicted co-defendants.

The main crime, which they were charged with was passing out "Citizen's Rule Books" to jurors and judges. Attorney General Johnny (Janet) Reno (a transvestite) and ITS crooked group of US Attorners claimed that the giving of these Books, containing the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution for the United States of America and the Bill of Rights, to jurors was jury tampering and that such books were a threat to judges. Can you imagine that they convinced a federal grand jury to swallow such HOGWASH.

All were denied bail. Marty Franz died from cancer in Prison while awaiting trail, he, too, was denied medical treatment. Phillip Marsh, founder of the Pilot Connection, also, died in Coleman Prison and was buried in a pauper's grave near the prison. The FEDS took everything that Phillip had, he died a pauper. Philip was teaching people how the beat the Infernal Revenue Service at their own game. The courts claimed that Philip was lying to the people. Personally, I believe that Philip was teaching the best he knew how. I know that he made some mistakes, but I do not believe that he was intentionally lying.

I can remember a pretty blond setting in the middle of the auditorium at one of Philip's lectures. I was scanning for bugs and wiretaps. The blond was wearing a bug. You should have seen the look on her face when she realized what I was doing and that she had been outed. At the end of the meeting instead of walking out the main entrance she stood up and then ran to the back of the auditorium and crashed out a fire exit setting off the alarm. She was an IRS Agent looking for something that they could use against Philip and others who were present. At a Colonel Bo Gritz rally, I caught two Bat Fagots (ATFE) wearing bugs; and they too were sitting in the middle of the auditorium and made an unusual exit when they realized that they had been spotted.

But then, come to think about it, between the FEDS, the County of Hillsborough and the City of Tampa, the BureaucRats stole everything that Susan and her parents had, too, about $3,000,000 in real estate alone. Folks, it is all about the almighty dollar; and the profits of these organized mobs of Black Robed Devils and winged monkeys, who daily fleece the dumb sheople. We do not need more government, what we need is less government.

Only one litigant, who was charged, walked even after being tried and convicted by a pocket jury, Toby Brown. Toby refused representation by an attorner of any sort, whatsoever. When it came to sentencing he refused to agree to go to or sign himself into prison. After hammering Toby for four weeks, attempting to force Toby to book in, the judge let him go. Folks, there are two things which these de facto corporate courts cannot do, they cannot arraign or sentence without representation.

They need a signature granting jurisdiction and to book you into the iron bar hotel, everything they do is commercial process or contract law. Toby was not a dumb sheople and was not about to book himself in their hotel. Remember, an attorney holds your power of attorney, and it is his duty as an officer of the court to sign the booking sheet for you and anything else the Black Robed Devil secretly orders him to do.

The others were all forced or CONNED into excepting a Public Pretender. Emilio was not even allowed in the courtroom, he watched his own hanging from a monitor in a jail cell. The Court appointed Larry Myers a Public Pretender and he was tried, absente reo, he had not been arrested, booked or arraigned. Larry disappeared and had not been heard from until he was arrested in 2011, and retried for the same bogus charges, double jeopardy.

Larry did not commit any crime, in fact, Larry had never received a traffic ticket nor had he ever been in a traffic accident. And he had never been arrested until February 1995, when the FBI picked him up without warrant, probable cause or charge; and held him unlawfully for four days, because they did not have any record on him. He was clean, and they wanted to know who he was, since he was not in their system. Emilio and Larry were the chief judges of the Common Law Court.

If you wish to drop Larry a letter, then I would ask when you write, it is always nice to send a blank page of paper or two. However print or write his name at the top, or something nice, because the guards are apt to not give it to Larry without something written on the page. Writing paper is usually hard to come by in prison, and Larry is looking at another 10 years in prison for something he did not do. I believe that Larry is 68 years of age.

Can you even imagine jurors so STUPID or IGNORANT to convict two men, who were not even in the courtroom to confront their accusers. Tell me, how can the government even try a man, who has never been arraigned? This crime syndicate operating as government could no longer operate if there were fully informed juries.

There is NO JUSTICE in the de facto "Corporate UNITED STATES" (see article by that name), since the Black Robed Devils of "The Temples Of Baal" (see article by that name) have a monopoly in running a Just-Us system. Welcome to the mad Hatter's tea party, for we are living on the wrong side of "The Looking Glass", since if you believe government has power over you, then you are delusional. When you step through that gate, you are most certainly no longer in Kansas. It is the TIN (tax identification number) man and the straw man that are with you; and Psalms 23 is not allowed.

This writer was a member of the Pro Se Litigants, however, I would never appear pro se in a courtroom, since the terms means that one accepts temporary appointment to the BAR (British Aristocratic Regency or British Accreditation Registry). Acting pro se or pro anything subjects their victim to their rules of court and BAR; which then give the power and authority to hold the Defendant in contempt. If one takes exception to the Black Robed Devil's attempt to appoint one pro se, and one remains without representation, they cannot arraign or hold one in contempt, as long as the Defendant does not create a controversy. On contempt ALWAYS agree with the Black Robed Devil.

During this same time period the Florida militia grew from a few hundred to over 100,000 men in strength. With coordinated efforts between the Florida militia, the Pro Se Litigants, the Common Law Court, the Ecclesiastical Court and the Christian Jural Society the restoration of the Florida Republics was well on its way early in 1996. A convention of delegates met in July of 1996 and Public Notices of secession were posted in September 1996.

I know how cruel the system is, since I was imprisoned three times in State Prison without ever being tried or convicted of any crimes. I was beaten seven times, three times for refusing to sign some government contract and twice for refusing to give up my Bible. I was even shot and pistol whipped to unconsciousness. 10 days before my final release from Prison I was severely beaten, receiving two broken ribs and two broken facial bones, and landing in ICU for 24 hours. In that same prison, I was made to sit each day at a dining table with a prisoner, who had full blown AIDS with sores all over his body and pus oozing out. Do you think that they were hoping that I might contract AIDS?

Like Marty, I contracted cancer while in prison. The prison doctor wrote in his report that I was a paranoid schizophrenic since I self-diagnosed as having cancer. About 45 days later when I was released, I immediately went to my personal physician for examination. He examined me and took a biopsy and asked me what I wanted him to do. I told him to fix it. He told me that he wanted me back that afternoon for surgery. I said your joking and he replied no, it is that serious. I had seven additional operations for cancer and received a clean bill of health in 2003 after opting to take an herbal medicine, Indian Healing Salve, as treatment instead of a ninth operation.

I was supposed to be DEAD, just like Marty and Susan died at the hands of correctional officers. The United States is the prison capital of the world. It is sad that at least 30% of those in prison do not belong there. A large number of prisoners in the prison system today are political prisoners, good folks, who have attempted to exercise their rights in protecting their lives, property or family or just campaigned against the wrong candidate, or even worse ran against the wrong candidate. There are still over two hundred members of the Pro Se Litigant movement or the Christian Jural Society, who are still in prison, without cause, around this Country.

Please visit my web page at http://sirdavidandrew.com In 2009 I wrote an article on Pro Se Litigants and Susan Mokdad's death containing several photographs, this was published and posted in PDF format and is downloadable at http://sirdavidandrew.com/the_pro_se_litigant.pdf I would encourage readers to take time to read other articles posted on my website. I can assure you that banksters, attorners, bureaucRats and Black Robed Devils do not want good folks to read what is posted on my website or what is posted on http://militias.info

Lest we forget, Susan Mokdad, age 47, was nearing the time of her release and the Black Robed Devils did not wish to her to be free. She was considered as one of the most dangerous to their business, even more so, since she became a Christian while in prison—a women who could crank out a devastating legal brief in three to four hours. She knew well how the scam was run, and could beat most attorners at their stupid games.

Since these satanic rulers are involved in cultic gnosticism, please note that the day 14, 1+4=5; and 2003, 2+3=5; and 5+5+2, the month, =12. 12 equates to administration, though, 1+2=3, having to do with deity or spiritual. Two equals destruction. Five is the numerology number which equates to demonic. Having a basic value as demonic administration destruction, the Destroyer or destroyers. I will not sit idle, and let this evil government's dirty deeds go unnoticed or forgotten, they will regret the day which they chose; Susan Mokdad, MURDERED by the gestapo, Valentine's Day 2003.

Dr. Fred Baughman MD on the occasion of being awarded the Thomas Szasz Lifetime Achievement Award

Dr. Fred Baughman MD on the occasion of being awarded the Thomas Szasz Lifetime Achievement AwardThe following message is the latest emailed me by the renowned and honest American neurologist, Dr. Fred Baughman MD. It is to mark the occasion of being awarded the Thomas Szasz Lifetime Achievement Award. The message quotes some of the correspondence Dr. Baughman had with parents thanking him for his help for their children. Here is Dr. Baughman's message (with Dr. Baughman's comments in brackets within the parents' messages) :

"To all who would read the contained essays and emails below--friend's colleagues, and others who labor as I do rid the country and world of the scourge that is biological psychiatry--tool of the world, pharmaceutical industry that would drug us, all normal children included, normal children until there are no more normal children. I feel I must share these emails other writings and hope that in doing so I have not violated anyone's privacy in a way not desired by then. Enough said, please read on

This past weekend, specifically on February 1, 2014, I was awarded the Thomas Szasz Lifetime Achievement Award for the stand I have taken for so many years against the false, fraudulent labeling and drugging of normal children and adults here in the United States and around the world. I cannot thank the Citizens Commission on Human Rights enough for this award. Furthermore I was deeply moved by the tribute of my friends, fellow activists and parents par excellence, Nestor and Sue Sosa for the card they gave on the occasion containing a magnificent gift in support of the work I do.

their beautiful card read:

Congratulations on your lifetime achievement award.

There are no words to express our gratitude for what you have accomplished.

Every day my family is rewarded by your courage and integrity... when many have given up hope....

Our grown children now lead healthy and productive lives.

All the best,

Nestor and Susan

I could not have asked for more than was given to me by so many dedicated, selfless, friends and allies on February, 1, 2014.—FB

I can’t think of one doctor who is opposed to the idea of drugging children at the request of a teacher. [[[[[[[[[[[FB: Linda, this has been my experience, for some years, in trying to advise parents. Of course I have more potential resources in trying to help parents around the country and you worth in any individual parent as in trying protect their own children and themselves. What a ghastly state of affairs has been visited upon all of us in this country with the full ongoing collaboration of all of our elected officials including the house ]]]]]]]]]] to contact me We tried to find one years ago when the drug destroying our son, and were unsuccessful. After taking him off Rit, I LIED to the school in a letter and claimed that we found two doctors to support our decision. the original diagnoses had come from a non-medical teacher, and the school social worker had bullied the doctor into writing the prescription, after 6 months of his insisting that there was nothing wrong with our son. After we took him off, we were investigated by child protective services claiming to be acting on a anonymous tip that we as parents were “abusive and neglectful.” All these charges were found to be incorrect, of course, we are caring parents.

My advice is proceed carefully, and Steve’s idea of getting the child to reject the drug is great. I would add to that a story that I was involved in where I tried to help a teen-child to get off a drug by rejecting it, and he was done in, I’m afraid, by his intense fear of displeasing his mother. I will attach this story if anyone is interested.[[[[[[[[[[[[ FB:please attach this story. Undoubtedly we are growing better acquainted all the time. I have immense respect for you just as I do for Maryanne Godboldo, the Detroit mother who blocked the door against police and their armored vehicles who had been sent by big Pharma and psychiatry to drug her young daughter no matter what it would take. More specifically it was to drug her with anti-psychotic drugs Maryanne demonstrated the very truest of parental instincts, no question about it, and fortunately she found a one in 1 million attorney in Allison Folmar and together they saved Maryanne's daughter from certain poisoning. When will US parents wake up to this Holocaust? Instead they view what is being done to them as state-of-the-art science and medicine only waking up when their children have been addicted, maimed or dead, far too late in the day.....all the best friend]]]]]]]

What Coked Up Kids Look Like – Sammy

by

Linda Linn

( human being, writer, mother with love in her heart and all the right maternal instincts—Fred Baughman, MD)

Sammy is a friend of my son’s. He is nervous around people he doesn’t know. At first I wasn’t that interested in Sammy because when I first met him, he seemed very self-involved and inwardly-focused. Then I looked more closely and I noticed that Sammy carried himself in a way that revealed his history of physical abuse, and that’s when I started to love Sammy.

When my son met him, he had just started a new school, and Sammy was the kid that the other kids loved to tease because they could make him cry. The boys that teased him had their own problems - they are the ones that can’t feel good about themselves until they feel superior to someone. Of course they picked Sammy to vent their frustrations on; Sammy is an easy and satisfying target. Boys who abuse are usually abused people themselves. They choose to identify with their abuser rather than the helpless abused, and they end up acting like their abuser, a choice they made by default.

Sammy was abused by his birth parents when he was very young. His parents were both harsh disciplinarians, and they weren’t happy with what they got for a son. So they beat him. He told me this on the night he slept over.

I tried to imagine why two people would beat a child for being himself but I was unable to imagine why anyone would do that. It just made me feel so sad that they wasted their opportunity to have a relationship with their son, and they damaged his life. He was just a kid needing love and finding... violence? My G-d, why? Some things I don’t understand. They must be damaged people themselves.

The longer I knew him, the more protective I grew of Sammy. The abuse he had suffered at the hands of his parents made him incredibly insecure, withdrawn, shy, unsure of himself, and unsure of his value to the world. Thinking about the inexplicable nature of such things, Sammy became precious to me.

Sammy had been over to our apartment a bunch of times. Then Sammy’s family moved away and we didn’t see him for awhile. The boys missed each other so one day when his mother called me to ask if Sammy could spend the weekend with us, I jumped at the chance for my son to see his friend again.

I asked Sammy’s mother what Sammy’s favorite foods were, and if he had any special needs. She told me his favorite salad dressing and that he was on “medication.”

When she said that, I knew that the medication was Ritalin. Don’t ask me how I knew - I just did. After ten years of researching this, I know how it sounds when people use the language.

I asked her to leave the Ritalin at home for the weekend because I was not comfortable having a kid on it in my home. She said she would see what she could do. I couldn’t bridge the gulf between us. I just braced myself and hoped for the best. She can only see it the way she sees it. She thinks I am trying to deprive her child of his valuable and life-transforming medication.

When Sammy arrived that afternoon he was speeding, and we made him as comfortable as possible in my son’s room. He had a glazed over look in his eyes as he excitedly talked a stream of chatter. He was happy to see his friend again and I made dinner while they went out to play.

Sammy had taken a Ritalin at 8:00 that morning and was still speeding when the family sat down to eat dinner - 10 hours later. My nine year old son kept looking at me - his eyes were saying, “what gives?” - Sammy was talking very fast and loud, and he kept getting up from the table and walking over to ask my husband a question while hovering over him a few inches from his face. He didn’t wait for him to answer the question before asking another question in the middle of the answer. While he was doing this he was banging a cup over and over against the palm of his hand and picking up crumbs from the table one by one and flicking them onto the floor. This behavior was so foreign to our family that we were on the edge of our seats.

He needed to exert his intellect, to be recognized as a smart person, which he certainly was, but he was used to be treated like the nutty abused kid with emotional problems. Now at the age of fifteen he was growing up and his instinct was to find his voice, his foundation as a man, his place somewhere in the sea of turmoil into which he was born.

Growing boys on the verge of manhood need different things than they needed as children. Boys need other men to learn from. If there is no man who can guide the boy, if all he has are women he can’t find his sense of direction. He can’t navigate by himself, surrounded by women; he can’t figure out what it is to be a man without having a father figure to learn from.

I was watching him, listening to him. Giving him warmth and smiles of encouragement and keeping quiet. Sammy took up the whole conversation all by himself. He seemed centered on getting attention from my husband. And my husband came through with the goods. He patiently listened to Sammy, pretended to be oblivious to the fact that Sammy was often just a few inches away from his face and that his talking was so erratic and rambling to be nearly incomprehensible. My husband simply listened intently, answered whatever he could in a calm and accepting voice, and in every way acted like the father that Sammy desperately needed.

As he did this, Sammy began to calm down, despite the fact that Ritalin was coursing through his veins. Our calm was calming him. As we listened to Sammy, he was feeling recognized as a real person. None of us were believing in his diagnosis. We liked him and found him delightful, smart and funny, and our belief in his goodness calmed him down.

His voice was becoming calm, but he still banged the cup against his hand. Gradually he began to ask the real questions - and wait for the answers. He asked, why did his first parents beat him? And why do his second parents drug him? Why does he have to be on drugs when the drugs make him feel so bad?

They were the right questions. But I didn’t know the answers. “Why is nobody listening to me? I know my second parents seem to love me (most of the time) but if they love me, why do they drug me?” We had no answers.

They were told that the drugs would make you “normal,” I explained. Theirversion of normal, not yours. Nobody is listening to you. Sorry, kid.

Then Sammy began to tell us about his childhood, his parents, school, friends, things he was worried about, and anything else that came into his mind. He poured out his heart and soul. We listened. One thing he kept repeating was how the drugs made him feel “horrible” and why would his mother want that?

Maybe she doesn’t know how “horrible” they make you feel, I told him. Maybe you have to tell her over and over again until she understands. Maybe every time you think how “horrible” you feel on the drugs, you should mention it to her, so she will eventually understand.

His mother had arranged for Sammy to walk over to a neighbor’s house to get his evening dose of Ritalin. “I’m not going to go get my Ritalin,” he announced. It was scary and empowering to him. His new parents had stepped in and saved him from the brutality of his first set of parents. Terror and panic filled Sammy’s eyes as he thought of defying their wishes.

I marveled at the sight of seeing this boyasserting his will. I got the impression he had never attempted it before. He was timidly taking his first steps in thinking for himself. It took bravery beyond what I have.

He was still telling us about his life long after dinner, after I cleaned up, all the while banging the cup against the palm of his hand. We moved into my son’s room.

The banging was getting weaker and more sporadic, but Sammy was still wide awake at 10:00 (why didn’t anyone care if this boy slept or not?). We were grateful that he hadn’t gone out to get his evening dose of Ritalin. Why would anyone dose a kid with speed in the evening? How could his parents not notice that it was damaging him?

I asked Sammy if he was ready to go to sleep. “I never sleep,” he said.

When I see the damage that we are doing to our children because of our ignorance I’m terrified of the consequences. The drug inhibits his normal functioning in every way. I can’t imagine why anyone would do this to a child. I ask Sammy what the adults around him say the drug is doing for him. He said that his parents claim the drug is “calming him down.”

I start wondering how to reach such oblivious parents. I feel worried for Sammy. The worst thing you can do is not listen to a kid when he’s trying to tell you medical information. Sammy keeps repeating that the drug makes him feel “horrible.” The only sane thing for me to do is to keep encouraging Sammy that he must communicate to his parents that the drug makes him feel “horrible,” which he’s been telling us for about six hours now. I decide that every time Sammy tells me that the drug makes him feel “horrible” I will tell him that he must make his parents aware of that. Surely if they knew how horrible the drug made him feel, they would take that into consideration. Wouldn’t they?

Could they really continue to silence his voice in this matter? Anytime anyonetakes any medication, isn’t there a need for a doctor, a parent, or somebody to say, how are you feeling? To check in with the “patient?” Is what Sammy has to say about his experience really soirrelevant?

It makes no sense from a medical perspective. In fact, from a medical perspective, it’s dangerous. It’s how you end up with dead children. I found myself both admiring Sammy and being terrified he would have a heart attack right in front of me.

At midnight, we were all yawning and looking longingly at our beds, but Sammy was still wired, and happy to find himself in the company of four people who wanted to listen to him, liked him, and considered his opinion valuable. We started saying goodnight, and going to bed. The attention we gave him was grounding him. He was in that weird place of being between a man and a little boy.

In the morning Sammy told me that he wanted to get off the Ritalin. He had actually slept a little that night. But now he had new problems. How could he presume to make a decision, especially such an important one, for himself? How does one go about standing one’s ground? He’d never done it before. His mind was churning. You could see him oscillate between confidence and insecurity. It was beyond anything he had ever contemplated before.

I was so proud of him. I was so touched by his courage. I kept telling him, don’t worry, in the end, you will grow up anyway, and you will be a man. The most sensitive and incredible people have come from adversity. He had to learn to be resilient and be strong because that’s what men do. This encounter with his parents would take everything he had. He was grateful to them and didn’t want to hurt them. If they didn’t want him to assert his will, what business did he have asserting it? I knew this could go either way, but I was proud of Sammy for even attempting it.

Then we all prepared for his mother coming over to pick him up. He had gone through the whole day without Ritalin. It was making him stronger. He kept looking to me for encouragement. I gave it to him willingly.

I was worried. How would his mother take it? Would she listen to him and back him up? Would she let Sammy have a voice? Would she be angry that I interfered? Sammy came to my room and told me he had just had a conversation with his mother on the phone and he told her he didn’t want to take Ritalin anymore, and she had responded that she would back up his decision, if that’s what he wanted. I was bowled over with happiness. Now Sammy could begin living his life. He could navigate becoming a man, and this encounter with his mother would give him confidence.

My happiness for Sammy, however, was premature.

Earlier that day, Sammy had lost his glasses. We had looked for them for several hours and didn’t find them. It was weird; they had to be somewhere in the house. Sammy hadn’t gone out anywhere. We all tore the house apart looking for them, but we never found them.

Now I stood waiting with Sammy on the front porch steps. His mother had an angry feeling about her behind her pinched smile. She asked Sammy to go inside and try to find his glasses while she talked to me. When Sammy was out of earshot she said to me, “I’m very angry that you’ve influenced him.” I told her I didn’t influence him in his decision to quit Ritalin, he decided that himself. He likes how he feels when he’s not on it. He likes to sleep. And I told her that she should listen to him because he told us that he felt horrible when he took the drug.

She could not conceal her rage. She told me that Sammy was “very impressionable” and that I shouldn’t have tried to influence him. I felt afraid, not only for Sammy, but for me. Would she try to get me in trouble for “interfering?” I wondered what would become of Sammy, and I wondered if I would now have to explain my actions in a court of law.

It has now been a year since this happened, and we don’t know what happened to Sammy. All communication was cut off by Sammy’s parents. I hope he’s okay. And I hope that somehow he got through to them. I hope he succeeded in asserting his will, but I’m afraid it’s more likely that he got shut down. I hope I’m wrong.

Thank you Dr. Baughman for your follow-up. Congratulations on your Lifetime Achievement award as well. I am aware that individuals such as yourself are very rare in the passion and dedication to doing what is right regardless of the risk to one's reputation.

Dear Ms. Moxon,

Dr. Baughman has informed me of your organization and I want to thank Steve Wagner for his clear presentation of the issues I face regarding ADHD teen drugging.

I understand and support that peaceful education may be my best approach to having my "more estranged than not" ex-wife see the facts, as well as presenting them in an open fashion to my 13 year old son.

I will begin researching on the CCHR site but if you have any specific educational papers or reference materials to point me toward, please feel free to do so.

Thank you all for your diligence and commitment to being not only a watchdog but a shining light in the darkness.

While I do empathize with this man's situation, it's a domestic andcustody/legal matter as much as anything.

If the mother has custody and she wants to put her kid on a drug, that isher right. (CCHR does not condone this in any way.)

The father can take a few different approaches:

(1) If he is on good terms with the mother, he needs to appeal to her commonsense by showing her the objective data on the life threatening side effects of ADHD drugs. If he is not on good terms with the mother, this might stillwork, if he attacks the drugs, not the mother.

(2) If he has any degree of custody or decision-making authority about hiskid's health care, then he will probably have to go to court and use the same objective data about the drugs, to get some kind of ruling about it. Hewould need to consult his lawyer about it as he risks losing whatever custody rights he has, particularly if the mother has a good lawyer.

(3) My personal favorite approach is the get the kid to reject the drugs.Kids have a right to decide too but, especially in divorce scenarios, are conflicted about disappointing one or another parent. Plus, the father wouldnot want to get detected as putting undue influence on the child. It would have to come from the child.

Whatever he does, he needs to calmly present the objective data about these drugs. It's enough to make anyone shudder.

Sincerely,

Steve Wagner

PS: Doc, I am very sorry to have missed your luncheon this past Saturday. During these CCHR events, I get wrapped up coordinating guesttransportation. I could not get out for even an hour.

Quaquaversality

Heh heh I thought I made a new derivation of a word which at the time of making my blog post didn't exist on the entire internet (at least I thought that was the case when I searched Bing and Google for 'quaquaversality' and it wasn't showing any results) but after posting and searching again I found 300 something entries. Oh well I'm still clever and if by chance there is someone with resources, out of the billions of people on this planet, who would like to get in contact with me on how to make our world and existence a better place then hit me up.

Quaquaversality - The state or condition of expansion in all directions from (and towards?) a common center.
